Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (3)
Guided imagery applied to elderly orthopedic patients increases activity-specific balance confidence.
The patient relaxes as a result of guided imagery, activity-specific balance confidence will be measured with the Activity-Specific Balance Confidence Scale. The scale is based on ratings of perceived balance level during different activities of daily living from 0% (no confidence) to 100% (full confidence). The total score ranges from 0 to 100. Higher scores indicate greater confidence. The intervention will be evaluated 3 times. 39 patients will be measured in the touch group.
100 minutes
Guided imagery applied to elderly orthopedic patients reduces pain levels.
The patient is relaxed as a result of guided imagery, the pain value will be measured with a verbal pain scale. On this scale, 0 describes the absence of pain, while 10 describes the highest level of pain, which is unbearable. Higher scores indicate more pain. The intervention will be evaluated 3 times. 39 patients will be measured in the touch group.
100 minutes
Guided imagery applied to elderly orthopedic patients increases psychological well-being.
The patient relaxes as a result of guided imagery, and the level of psychological well-being will be measured with the Psychological Well-being Scale. The total scale score varies between 8 and 56. As the total scale score increases, the level of psychological well-being also increases. The intervention will be evaluated 3 times. 39 patients will be measured in the touch group.
